Hey folks – I'm visiting Japan for the first time in a couple of days and am looking for JDM car shop recommendations (parts, accessories, gear, etc – ideally Toyota gear and MKV Supra parts) outside of "The Big 2?"
The Big 2 being, as I understand it, Up Garage Yokohama and A-Pit Autobacs Shinonome.
I might be able to check those out – but given my schedule I may not have time, as they are rather out of the way compared to our broader Japan travel plan.
Are there any other good stores you know of for parts, accessories, or gear that you know of? Ideally JDM stores in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku (I am checking out Liberty Walk, at least), or Asakusa?
I've crawled google and reddit but am admittedly having a bit of trouble?
Any cool spots to check out other than A-Pit, Up Garage, or the parking garage meets?
Much appreciated!

Liberty Walk Harajuku and a few hundred meters from that is Mico Tokyo where I bought some Hardcore Tokyo merch.
Also if you want to go car spottig, Friday night in Shibuya crossing is a must go. You’ll see tons of JDM cars cruising around. I’ve spotted the Ichiokou crew there, some Supra, NSX and lots of Skylines.
Oh man, I dream of the days when we had Super Autobacs in America. They installed a CAI and some new struts onto my old Maxima. Seems they had some [cars & coffee meetups](https://hobbaswaggle.com/2014/05/29/thebigbangmeet-comes-to-super-autobacs/) in the old parking lot at least.
Honestly Up Garage is cool to just visit but you can see a majority of their stock online and have it shipped to you.
A-Pit is cool, once, but it’s mostly for tourists who wanna spend ¥5000 on a meh car themed t shirt.
Any other Super-Autobacs is better, literally.
If you make it up to Saitama, there has to be a hundred stores just around the Tokyo-Saitama border that fit what your looking for.
My reccomendation is a GR Garage. The one in Yokohama Tressa has MK 3-5 Supras, but any of them will sell pretty decent selection of parts for Toyota’s current line up.
By Up Garage Yokohama, do you mean Machida?
Strangely enough that’s actually in Tokyo
